TL;DR: another firm that acquires 0 day vulns, the news being they published their price chart.

There are now several firms like this (TIppingPoint, ImmunityInc, etc.) and I was wondering what, if any, process there is with respect to CVE assignments, my experience is that the sooner a CVE is assigned the better, ideally prior to public release if possible. Has Mitre reached out to these companies at all to help them understand the value of getting CVE's in advance and so on?
